LS1 Fuel Economy

[yxyx64]

O2 Sensors either work or don't work... and if they didn't work, id be seeing an error fault code.

and also there will be no carbon tax in any government I lead.

google is your friend here as neither of the above in my post turn out to be true

ive got the 6L and i get 350kms to tank usually.. New spark plugs, new leads, history wiped, new O2 sensors, no error codes, new filters, regularly serviced...

Go fill your car up and stop at the first click, then do 100 kms of your Normal driving, the fill up again to the first click! That will give you an Idea of Ltrs per 100km

Just because the low fuel light comes on doesn't mean it is empty, if you were game there may be another 100km left in the tank. How many litres can you get into the tank when you fill up. You probably have more fuel left in the tank than you think. My VX SS gets around 10L 100/km on the highway and around 14 to 15 around town, but have seen it a bit higher in stop start traffic.

I normally get around 450kms to a tank around town, with 3.9s and other bolt on mods.

How many ltr per 100km? Mine is a 6 speed and I can get it down to 11.8 ltr per 100km that's with a tiny bit of stop start and mainly 80 zones but that's with changing up a gear at 2000rpms! But normally 12.5ltr per 100 with "normal" driving

I pretty much always do city driving and hardly take it out on the highway.. but mu avg fuel apparently is 14.3Kms.

Pretty poor actually! compared to what you blokes seem to get.. whats worst is the car is dead stock. Plugs new basically, oil new, tires also new with correct pressure.

O2 Sensor is something i never looked at however.. may change it for the sake of it if it isn't very expensive and easy to fit...

Good Point. I almost never see the fuel light come on, but the needle is about in the middle of the RED zone when i fuel up. I can only fit in round about 50ltrs until it gets filled up.. I never let it go beyond this mark as i have heard some horror stories about the fuel gauge in the VY SS's giving wrong readings so i don't want to get stuck on the road somewhere...

50 litres to full up and your getting about 350 ks outta that so you are in fact using about 14 litres per hundred sounds about right too me mate.....

I think you have a 70 litre tank aswell aye.....

 

[ryan101]

I thought 75 ltr

 

[FATMOE]

75ltr tank you have. Just try your o2 sensors and see how you go.
